Meteorology and Wind Energy Department Annual Progress Report 1 January - 31 December 1988

The research in the Meteorology and Wind Energy Department is directed towards two major applications: wind energy and modelling air pollution dispersion. In order to maintain a high level of technical competence within these applications, the department has carried out both theoretical and experimental basic studies. The subjects range from surface energy balance research of the general spatial and temporal structure of atmospheric turbulence to wind engineering investigations of dynamic loads on buildings, bridges, and other structures. Very important parts of the applied work are the testing and licensing of wind turbines for the Danish market and providing consultative services for Danish wind turbine manufacturers.
